Hi Folks - just want some input.

We are thinking of offering a Bryston Faceplate for Torus products - any opinions?

MATTE BLACK like the black 4B.

Nap.

P.S. Did I mention that I absolutely love the look of my black 4B?

Sounds good! Go for it, James.

Then there would be a consistant look of power(I think I made a pun,I think.
James I see now the 60a Torus has one breaker switch on the front,
the one I have has three,might you be able to do that one also.

Would be nice to see a proto type to visualize .

I have the CS15 in silver and it looks fantastic in the rack with my silver 7's and BP26.  It provides relief from everything looking exactly the same. I would vote for keeping Torus faceplates as standard and offer the Bryston plate as an option for those who like the uniformity.

Why not stick with the same theme as the current bryston faceplates.

That way existing /new owners could order and match their existing bryston faceplates.

I would like to order a faceplate to match my 17" black faceplates on my bryston's.

If that turns out to be to big of a challenge, then maybe just a black or silver faceplate. A generic
 style that would be a little different, but would compliment the existing styles. My preference would
 be without handles.

WITH THE OPTIONS OF HANDLES as my 60a Torus is very EVIL TO LIFT,175lbs..

I agree with this. You don't want the faceplates to clash, imo.

- the faceplates should have the Torus design (emblem) engraved
- maybe without the horizontal milled edge (like the Bryston amps style) for a better differentiation
- green LED to show status
- on/off switch on the back. if on the front then it should look like the amp's switch.
- no viewable screws on the front
- handles as an option
- silver or black in 17" or 19"

Torus branding is fine with me, as long as it is a black faceplate to match the amps.

Why not make it look just like the amps. With BCD-1 style display. Would integrate perfectly.

I like the faceplate on my CS15 AVR, it's a nice logo.  Mind you I can't really see the logo until I'm about 5cm away from the thing... result of an engraved emblem and *cough* age.

Hi James and all,

Have you seen this review?

Best,

Hi Klao,James already sent the review out,just before I started balin hay(about sun up  ).
Good you posted it,as I'm sure there are other folk who didn't get it,so it's good you put the link up.

I think its a good idea if you offer a 20 year warranty on the Torus. But if not i would keep the Torus faceplate on it.
